Weather



Our theme for January was Weather!

We learned lots about different types of weather, weather forecasting and meteorologists. 
We even became meteorologists and made some instruments to help us understand the weather better. 

We made:
a rain gauge 

a thermometer 

a wind vane 

and an anemometer! 

The meteorologists recorded the weather data each day last week using our new instruments and compared each day's weather.


We also looked at the water cycle using this poem:

The children in Juniors and Seniors are ar fheabhas at An Aimsir in Gaeilge and know LOADS of phrases for talking about the weather if you just ask...
"Conas atá an aimsir inniu?" 
"Cén sort aimsir atá ann?" 
Cén saghas lae é?
